Ultra-bright glass needed with high solar transmission to ensure high efficiencies in the overall pv module. Mechanical strength to withstand snow and wind. Self-cleaning characteristics would
If your project requires for a glass with a more specific buildup, please: What key parameters define the optical properties of photovoltaic glass? The key optical parameters are the Visible Light Transmission (VLT) and the Solar Factor (g-value). The VLT indicates the amount of light passing through the glazing.
For solar applications the main attributes of glass are transmission, mechanical strength and specific weight. Transmission factors measure the ratio of energy of the transmitted to the incoming light for a specific glass and glass width. Ratio of the total energy from an AM1-5 source over whole solar spectrum from 300 - 2,500nm wavelength.
The multifunctional properties of photovoltaic glass surpass those of conventional glass. Onyx Solar photovoltaic glass can be customized to optimize its performance under different climatic conditions. The solar factor, also known as “g-value” or SHGC, is key to achieve thermal comfort in any building.
Photovoltaic glass can be customized to achieve a solar factor between 6% and 41%. A low g-value is desirable to prevent overheating, especially in warm climates, as it prevents the interior temperature from rising too high due to the greenhouse effect.
